than Grenhut's (socialist) prediction o
1000 vas generally expected BY then
and only few talked OF less than |
lead Of 5000 votes for their who'll
ticket.
The day is clear and cold and reportl
from nearly all wards indicate that I
very large vote will be polled. Th.
contest lies between the Republican aud
the Labor candidates. A very fev
Prohibition votes are being cast, a.

peddlers ct nearly all the polling places
greater portion Of the Labor vote was
polled during early hours. At 3 O'Clock
reports from various precincts showed
that form one fourth 20 one half Of the
registered votes had been cast.
By mon one half and 10 some wards
two thirds Of the registered vote had
been cast. This would indicate that
the total city vote will reach probably
1900 and possibly $1,000. While there
have been large crowds at The polling
places, no viOlense has been reported

almost solid for the Republican ticket,
the Democrats and Republicans voting
ID without reserve. In one precinct

three Labor tickets bad been cast. In
the oatIayinR wards the Laber ticket ia
ahead in some instances but at no poll

Labor vote as overwhelming AZ Is that
of the Republican ticket In the strong
wards. The Republican
party at noon claimed that Roche, for
Mayer, would have q majority Of 5000.
The board Of trade and banks are closed.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon, within one
hour Of closing the pslls. II Is estimated
that 10000 votes have been poiled. The
defeat OF the Labor ticket il
bat estimates as to maiaFities
are eopiured widely different. Labor
leaders claimed thst they would poll
10000. The claim is now made that
the party will not cast 10 exceed 20000
votes a. total shevinR Of party
strength. Very few Democrats have
voted the Labor ticket, and some re-
away fren the polls. The sup
port Of the Republican ticket BY Demo
gratis have been as hearty as by the Re
publioens themselves. In the l4th ward,
which Is the Socialist stronghold, and
which the Labor managers claimed their
oarty would carry by three or four thou
sand majority, has undoubtedly gone
The showing in other
wards claimed by the Socialists is a.
most IS equally disastrous. Ii is
now regarded as very doubtful
whether the Losor party will
slsct more than two Aldermen and this
will be the extent OF the showing the
party will be able 70 make. At9 O'Clock
this afternoon bets were made in pool
rooms that the Republican ticket would
be elected by 1900 majority.
Ninety three precincts out Of $50 give
Roche (Rspuhlican), 1O.l33 majority
over Nelson (LaboR). The present 10
iications are that the labar party has
,arried only one ward In the city. II is
DosaibIs that the head sf the ticket has
been carried by the Republicans by 25,-
